Wss as expected , but could have been cleaner
Gila, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice enough
Nice place, but no on site staff to assist with any issues. I loved the mattress, but was surprised that there was no mini fridge. Also, no daily refresh of the room. We had to reuse the 3 paper cups for several days, which was not ideal.
debra, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall this was a great experience, good place to stay, and would stay there again. There were some small cleanliness oversights in the room like crumbs on one end table. The lobby and hallway were also not dirty, but untidy. This stay was at an unstaffed location, but made me wonder when it had been serviced. On a Sunday night, the only trash can in the lobby was overflowing, and one of the few conveniences in the lobby, a small coffee machine, was broken and appeared to have been in the state for some time with no indication of it being broken and the supplies (coffee pods, and sugar) fully stocked. This seemed to signal a lack of timely care for the common spaces especially.

Seemed safe to walk around, property was clean
Robert, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room is a bit dated and really could use new carpeting. Other than that it was very nice and convenient to metro and many restaurants, bars, etc.
Richard, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Not what we expected
No front desk, had to enter using a code. No fridge in the rooms, only a public fridge on the main floor. No water fountains either. Luckily there was a 711 a block away though. Room was very small and bathroom had no hooks for the towels. Would not stay here again.

Very nice hotel, easy access to everywhere we needed to go. No staff on grounds but then the app the assisted chat answered promptly.

We picked the hotel for location and price. Everything was clean and check in was seamless. For the price point you can’t get much better if you’re looking to stay in DuPont Circle. We’d happily come back if we are in DC again.

Room is fine but needs blackout blinds!
The windows need black out blinds. The lights right outside the window illuminated the room the whole night even with the provided blinds closed.
MacKenzie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible and overpowering smell when you walk in the door. The toilet was dirty and when I immediately messaged them to ask about fixing I was given the run around and did not get a refund.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was soooo friendly and accommodating. Very pleasant stay.
Marc, 6-night trip

Better Than Expected But Not Great
My first time staying at a Sonder property, and while I'm not sure I would choose it over a more traditional hotel again, I was very impressed by how well the "staffless hotel" concept worked - I was able to walk right in and go straight to my room without wasting time checking in or anything like that. The room was a perfect size - not too big or too small - and the bed was comfortable, but the bathroom could definitely use some attention (tiles were cracked and even missing along the edges, the faucet in the tub was... precarious). Overall, though, it was a nice place to stay, especially for the price.

I will not be repeating a stay at this property.

It was amazing and comfortable

6/10 Good

Inexpensive, well situated, very basic.
Very well situated, but minimalist: a basic room with double bed, desk, chair, hanging space, en suite bathroom. The price was reasonable and the surrounding area pleasant with some good restaurants and cafes and the Metro close by. Recommended.
A, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is awful. There is no on-site staff. You have to download an app and register an account, including room uploading a photo ID and full picture. Before you can get a code to get in. The room is small and there is no one to talk to for any help.
Elyse, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I knew the room would be small, but not 8x13 small. No storage for clothes except for a portable rack with hangers. Had the same 2 bath towels for my entire stay of 3 nights/2 days, and 1 was used solely to soak up all the water in the bathroom from the tiny shower with the too short shower curtain. Gave up trying to use the tv--apparently a code is needed and logged in to watch any channel. Even at the cheapest roadside motel one can at least turn on the TV to get the local main channels. Location is great, very nice curb appeal, lobby is nice, but will not stay there again.
Kenneth, 3-night trip

Liked the location and the property was exactly like it was advertised. Great for a quick visit to DC!
